Pamela Chit Chat.
PoSoLA, June %, 1887.

Mn. ED1Tor: The thermometer yes
terday registered 100 degrees. Our
avourdupois adds discomfort to our
frail mortality. Rain comes just III
nick of time. To-day refreshing show:
ers are falling, Vegetation looks and
| lives. We are also having cool
wave, so every one you meet puts on
smile of cheerfullness. What a
pleasant and delightful land is this in
which we ive,-socially, religiously:
and morally. We often think Pamela
is the garden spot OF the world; not
to detract from other portions of the
county, for We believe the good peo-
pie of Clarendon as a general rule are
as hospitable, generous, and liberal IN
their views, as you will find anywhere;
Notwithstanding the flesh loves home,
it cherisheth fondness for its earthly
habitation.
Nv main object is to give partial
review of the many farms in an area
OF five miles, there management, and
condition. and the growing prosperity
of our agricultural population. In do
ing this, I will speak of the Pamela
farmers alone, contrasting their con-
dition ten years ago with the present.
MI. r. H. Belser commenced with
a one horse farm. With persistent ef-
fort, energy, and zeal, his business
has rapidly increased; now, in appre-
citation Of that effort, he stands out be-
fore the world as an example to show
what a young man, possessed with de-
termination, can do.
Captain J. P. Brock, tried his for
tune after the war in Texas, but find
inc the climate injurious to his health,
with other disadvantages against him,
returned to South Carolina crippled
in fortune, and stands the peer OF any
farmer, and is equally successful as
merchant.
Mr.. J. NJ. Richardson, entered the
AGRICULTURAL arena when quite a young
man, with limited experience, but with
his practical judgment and business
capacities as seen, evidently portrays
bis successful management Of free Ia
bor, being one Of the largest land
holders. We were forcibly struck
with his magnificent farm and beauti-
full scenery that surround his elegant
Captain D. W. Brailsford, though
he had the misfortune to suffer from a
disastrous hail-storm which necessa'l-
ly compelled him to replant a part OF
lis crop, yet as far as observation
goes, his fully comports with the role
OF honor.
Mr.. S. P. Holladay, the efficient su-
peryisor of registration, is not only
sci apart to sit in judgment on the
vexed problem f creating voters or
the benefit of hs country, but is a
farmer also. HIS farm is model OF
neatness, taste, and management. He
is not the sort to be left behind.
Ir. L. n. Richbourg, whose judg-
ment is safe in agricultural matters,
is a safe counselor and from success
ful farming. has won for himself afne
u Mr.. S. P. Fairiey (uncle Sam) occu-
nies no middle ground as a farmer;
he adds strength to our system, and
warrants the conclusion that cotton is
the handspring Of all the farmers
woes.
AIr. T. H. Harvin, known in rews.
paper parlance as the other Tom, to
whom I have frequently had honora-
bic mention in my chat with the
TINES, is surrounded with one of the
prettiest and most charming fields OF
cotton together with the rest,
But for fearI burden the printer,
